@MaryLouMcDonald I'm so sorry to hear this. Your father was my mum's cousin, and I grew up with many stories about his visits to family in Mayo. May his memory be for a blessing!

Our thanks to Minister Paschal Donohoe for launching this important new book which explores the complexities of Irish Jewry.
Speaking last night at Trinity College Dublin to a packed room, he spoke with great sensitivity & wisdom, acknowledging the issues facing Irish Jews today.

Excellent discussion with @kessler_ed on the @RestIsPolitics podcast who explains the value of dialogue, and how understanding the narrative and grievances of the "other" side is the only road to lasting peace. @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret

This, by the Palestinian American designer Mo Husseini, is fabulous. It is rare, and wonderful, to read a list of 50 items and agree with every word. "I am a Palestinian American who is tired of stupid people...." Amen, brother.

A very brave, honest and much-needed conversation.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Here is some hope at a time of division. This conversation with Jewish and Arab students at @UWMadison left me inspired. We need to have nuanced and honest conversations like this in every community and college across the country.

[Lea Ypi @lea_ypi]

When the horror starts for all of us, regular immigrants, second generation citizens, people with strange-sounding names, communities that celebrate different holidays, we will ask ourselves at what point it could have still been stopped. At THIS point.

I am in awe of @agnekn, the chair of @tcddublin’s Jewish society.

I implore all of my followers-Jews and non Jews alike-to read and amplify this courageous, powerful, and eloquent open letter detailing the experiences of Jews on campus at Ireland’s most prestigious university.

[Trisha Oakley Kessler @trishaokessler]

Another brilliant observation by @Freedland

Latest column is on the extremists, narcissists and other supposed “allies” who make peace between Israelis and Palestinians ever harder to achieve

Israel and Irish political opportunism:
Electoral calculus.
